Abstract: A rise-up panoramic roof provided on a roof opening of a body of a vehicle comprises a frame member and a lift assembly. The frame member has a forward portion and a rear portion. The forward portion is hingedly connected to the vehicle body such that the frame member does not slide relative to the body. The frame member is configured to hold a roof panel. The lift assembly is configured to move the frame member between a closed position where the rear portion of the frame member closes the opening of the vehicle body and a raised, open position where the frame member is raised from the vehicle body and the rear portion is located above the opening.

Abstract: Provided is a switched-mode power supply. The power supply includes: a DC voltage input terminal; a driver switching element connected to the input terminal; an inductor connected to the driver switching element; an output terminal connected to the inductor and outputting output voltage different from the input voltage; and an integrated circuit outputting control pulses used for on-off control of the driver switching element. The integrated circuit has: a ripple injection circuit adding a ripple component to a feedback voltage of the output voltage; a voltage comparator comparing the summed voltage with a predetermined voltage; and a control pulse generator generating the control pulse based on an output of the voltage comparator. The ripple injection circuit has an integrator outputting an integral of the voltage at the node between the driver switching element and the inductor, and a series RC circuit connected to the output end of the integrator.

Abstract: A tilt sunroof unit has a sunroof panel provided tiltably with respect to a plane of an opening provided in a vehicular roof, an annular frame formed so as to extend continuously along an entire periphery of the opening, the annular frame being formed of a single parts in which a peripheral gutter continuing along an entire periphery thereof is integrally formed, and a lifting mechanism for connecting the sunroof panel and the annular frame, wherein the tilt sunroof unit in a subassembled state with the sunroof panel assembled thereto is assembled to the roof

Abstract: The present invention provides a panel seal structure having a seal mounted around the outer circumferential edge of a panel body, such as glass panel, covering an opening formed in a vehicle body. An upper face of the seal is set to be substantially flush with an upper face of the panel body. A lip to be contactable with an edge of the panel body is formed along the upper face of the seal, and the edge of the lip is deformed downward upon contact with the edge of the panel body. Thereby, since the edge of the lip is deformed downward, a dimensional error of the panel body is accommodated for, and the continuity between the upper face of the seal and the upper face of the panel body is enhanced.

Abstract: In an automotive slide roof system comprising a slide roof panel which is capable of both tilting and sliding to provide two modes of opening a part of a fixed roof of a motor vehicle, each of the stays for the slide panel is provided with a cam slot including an inclined section which is adapted to tilt up a rear end portion of the slide panel as elevator links guided by guide rails are pushed forward from a fully closed state by push-pull cables, and lateral pins attached to the elevator links move forward inside the cam slots, and the elevator links are adapted to tilt forward as the elevator links are pulled rearward from the fully closed state of the slide panel by the push-pull cables, thereby lowering a rear end of the slide panel so as to allow the slide panel to be slid open without being interfered by a part of the fixed roof located behind the opening.
